There’s been talk of some Trump foes walking out of the convention if they feel they’ve been treated unfairly, a spectacle top Republicans would love to avoid.

“Now is the time to stand united as Republicans”, Priebus said in a speech Wednesday to the party’s leadership gathered in Cleveland ahead of next week’s national convention.
Though he won the Republican primary a month ago, Trump won’t officially be named the nominee until Thursday.
The platform will be formally voted on by Republican delegates at the start of their convention on Monday.
The campaign has not responded to repeated requests about the list and when it will in fact be released, but despite their silence about who will address the thousands of delegates, reporters and politicos who descend on Cleveland next week and the millions watching from home, several speakers themselves have confirmed their participation. Three other delegates who had signed on quickly told the press they would also be pulling out and had been misled on what they were supporting.
She said he’s confidentthe minority report will pass onto the floor for the delegates to vote. “So I think the unbind stuff has died off considerably over the last 10 days or so”.
Finishing almost 40 percentage points higher than his closest rival, Trump did so well among Rhode Island’s GOP voters in the April 26 primary that most of the state’s delegates are die-hard supporters who were elected to represent him. “He probably doesn’t care if I do or not”, Kinzinger, R-Channahon, said Tuesday on “The Michael Koolidge” radio talk show in Northern Illinois.
Until Donald J. Trump came along, there had never really been much room for, or interest in politics in Gaus’s life. One of the leaders of the movement is New Jersey politician Steve Lonegan.
Republicans hoping to dump part-time Palm Beacher Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee are pushing a “conscience clause” that would allow delegates at next week’s GOP convention to disregard primary and caucus results and vote for other candidates.
The Republican National Convention is just around the corner.
Intrigued by the candidate, Gaus connected with a couple of Trump Facebook groups and, to her surprise, someone on the Trump campaign reached out and asked her to be a delegate ahead of the March 15 IL primary.
A party spokesman said things are still in flux.
I must comment on Jack Kelly’s July 3 column regarding Donald Trump (“The Folly of Trump Fans”).
“We now know, before you get to the convention, who the nominee is going to be, and generally you’re going to know who the vice presidential nominee is too”, Williams said. Trump himself, campaign sources say, is staying out of the parliamentary minutiae of the meeting and leaving it up to his team to execute.

“I certainly think we’re alienating the LGBT community who might consider voting Republican”, she says.
